Letter: Radical feminists at odds with natural law

In response to Ellen Goodman's column of Oct. 17 ("Abortion moves back in the closet"), Goodman suggests that women's unwillingness to talk about their abortion experience is chipping away at their "rights."

In fact, women are coming out in droves to talk about their abortion experiences. For personal testimony from thousands of women nationwide, visit www.silentnomoreawareness.org. But the stories those women are sharing are at odds with the agenda promoted by liberal "feminists" like Goodman. The women are speaking of pain, heartache, depression, suicidal thoughts, dysfunctional behavior and a host of other physical and psychological struggles.

Instead of the abortion being the "empowering" and "liberating" act that abortion advocates have promised, women feel degraded by their "choice." Instead of the abortion being the solution to their problem, it instead created a host of new, more painful problems.

Many women who have had abortions regret their decision.

Goodman has her head in the sand. She refuses to acknowledge the testimonies of the women because she has built her career on proposing a women's agenda that is at odds with true feminism. It is completely contrary to natural law for a woman to abort her child. A woman's nature is to nurture, not to destroy her child.

Until radical feminists come to understand that their agenda is at odds with this nature, they will continue to deny the fact that abortion hurts women.
